Antique Caucasian Marasali prayer rug of the scarce 'Black' ground colour.

This outstanding rug belongs to a scarce group known as 'Black' Marasali prayer rugs, due to the very dark indigo blue ground colour. The field is filled with rows of 'flaming' boteh with small crosses between the boteh. There are many interesting filler elements to the field including a samovar, a headless person, amulets and birds. The borders of this rug are of a rare design and very unusual to find on this type of rug.

The rug is in excellent condition with even wear and medium pile, there a few scattered old repairs that are very well blended.
